Troy you weren't ready for opening night. Go to get food and are second in line. Cashier swipes the customers card a hundred times and line is forming. Finally another worker comes up and after a while figures out that machine isn't working. She shifts people over to another register with a sign that says cash only. Her first customer goes to pay with cash and she says oh no you have to go over to the other side. Numerous workers but not doing much of anything. The burger meat is crap. No cheese to be had. No mayo. Hot waters at the beginning of the 2nd quarter. Only half the lights working on top of the press box so you turn them off. That should have been checked and corrected before the season. Fix it.

The draft beer lines tasted soapy. Went to several different vendors and all were soapy. Whoever cleaned them doesn’t know what they are doing. Will call line was 20 deep, sales lines were empty. Why not make all lines dual purpose. The method for getting the students into the game was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. They were lined up like cattle on intramural field. They probably won’t keep coming after that. The food was horrendous as usual. Pizza atrocious. The Athletic Director has numerous other games on his flatscreens In his suite while the rest of us under the overhang have to watch tape delayed replays of the Tulane game on our tv. As the friends I brought said “that’s a bad look”. He had an LSU game on last year in his suite that many of us would’ve liked to have watched but weren’t allowed. Put fans under the overhang, heat gets trapped and it’s brutally humid under there with no breeze. Offense sucked.

Does anyone know what the actual attendance was last not? Not how many tickets were sold but how many actual butts in seats?

My very unscientific guess would be about 8,000, and if I had to bet money using that number I'd take the under.

Welcome to gotula.net, where it's never too late to mention Tanner Lee, Andy Cannizaro, Lindsey Scott Jr., Rich Rodriguez, David Pierce, or, of course, Scott Cowen. You see, no horse here is so dead that it cannot be beaten just a little bit more.

wow...sounds almost as bad as Jerry World...home to 60 dollar Pizzas and 45 dollar parking

Be a Hero Today.... Adopt a Shelter Pet... The Beatles once sang "Can't Buy Me Love"... I disagree, unconditional Love can be bought, for the nominal adoption fee at your local Pet Shelter !

5,000 fans at an opening game against a P-5 team we have a decent chance to beat. Also, pre-season talk has been positive about chances for a winning season in addition to having a hyped experienced returning starting QB.
Is it just me or is it OK to question the viability of the Tulane football program with that little interest?

I didn't go to the game due to it being a school night. I wonder if that hurt the crowd any.

We still have to produce something worth going to see. The diehards were there and will be there each week. There are too few of us (diehards). To reach the sellout of a Yulman-opening Ga. Tech-type crowd, we have to have something special to see. This coming week, we are threatened with being outnumbered by Nicholls State fans--not ULL--but, now Nicholls, my alma mater who I never thought I'd see rise to this level. I'll be in my green while some members of my family will be in red and gray. WF better have the guys ready...something tells me he will.

I agree with the "product worth seeing".... but I have never missed a game since the stadium opened but had to this time because it was a school night.... how many people didn't go for the same reason...... I think "casual fans" would have gone if it was on Saturday

It was a school night and the Saints were playing in the 'dome at the same time.

Anyone that puts ANY measure of interest into preseason game 4 isn't a college football fan, and is probably too deep into their love affair with their NFL team that they won't be swayed anyway. There's very few players that see the field on the fourth game that will make the team they play for. It's not just the starters that sit out game 4, it's the two deep. And guess what? The NFL is only a 53 man roster, so the first 44 are out and maybe a dozen or two borderline players see the field for preseason game 4. The rest are waiving good by to the NFL.

Thank you all for your support as my son Zach continues to beat leukemia

There were more than 5,000 there. I felt like it was a 10-12k crowd. I brought 3 ppl. 2 left at halftime because they said the game was boring and it was too hot. Same reason I’ve gotten from most of the ppl I’ve brought. I don’t have the answer to fix that. It was a very boring game and it was hot. Move back to the Dome? Do something different on offense? Who knows. I know I have tried since we opened to get anyone to come to these games and haven’t been able to get a single soul to come back for a second game.
